>>10329905>Apex guy was already famous before they hired him, from what I've heardYou have heard rrats from this holoschizos. Kzh wasn't even breaking 4 digit viewers back when he joined Nijisanji (the first two months in picrel were before he joined Nijisanji), which I'll admit is a lot for a startup company and streamers in general, but it's nowhere near what he pulls now. He had to grind for years to get to that position, which is why he's also just a bad example for a talent that will make you an overnight success.
Nijisanji and the current livestreaming live2d vtubing exists in the way it does mainly because they lucked out with finding Mito who's a once in a generation talent as a small startup. She also had no history of streaming before she joined Nijisanji. Now you can of course argue that finding your own Mito is easier said than done, and putting that expectation on any startup's talent scouting is foolhardy.
